Earn & Burn: How to earn and where to spend

The $AETH token is the utility currency of the entire Aetherion Chronicles ecosystem. It is designed to have a real and ongoing function within the game, supporting all key interactions: progression, evolution, NFT economy, PvP rewards, and much more.

The goal is to create a dynamic and sustainable economic cycle, where players can actively earn $AETH by participating in the ecosystem, but also spend it meaningfully, reducing inflationary pressure and maintaining a thriving economy.

How to burn $AETH

Every significant action in the game is tied to an expenditure in $AETH, which is partially burned or reinvested into the system:

1. NFT Gacha Summoning

   • NFT banners require $AETH for summoning

   • A portion is burned, and another part is allocated to the reward pool

2. Soul Fusion (NFT Fusion System)

   • Each fusion requires an increasing amount of $AETH

   • "Burned" NFTs + "burned" tokens = control of the supply

3. NFT Ascensions

   • Some advanced evolutions require $AETH to unlock aesthetic or passive upgrades

4. Rare Upgrades

   • Rune enhancements, traits, alternative skills (for NFTs and late-game)

5. Access to Exclusive Events

   • Tickets for tournaments, unique dungeons, special guilds

6. Marketplace Tax

   • Every sale incurs a tax in $AETH (fee %)

   • Part of the fee is burned, part is distributed to pools or the team

7. Future Services

   • Character name change, special skins, crafting, guild branding, etc.

Earn & Burn Cycle

To foster a healthy circular economy, the entire system is designed to balance:

Action	Earn 💰	Burn 🔥
Complete PvE/PvP	+$AETH (missions, events)	-
NFT Summoning	-	$AETH spent for summon
NFT sales in the marketplace	+$AETH	Tax in $AETH (partial burn)
NFT Fusion	Potential future profit	Burn2 NFT + $AETh
Ascensions / Power-ups	-	$AETH spent

Model Sustainability

To avoid inflation and maintain the value of the token:

• Balanced earning frequency: only competitive and meaningful content offers $AETH

• Mandatory burns on key actions (NFT gacha, fusions, marketplace)

• Caps on events and dynamic reward pools

• NFT supply control through soul fusion mechanisms and limited drops

Economic Philosophy

“The value of the token is not derived only from scarcity, but from real utility. In Aetherion, every token spent opens a new possibility. Every token earned is the result of merit.”
